Mas Cullell is situated in the district of La Selva, but is very near to the districts of La Garrotxa, Pirineus and Girones. Cycling is very big in the area, and one known route passes by the house. There are many footpaths that pass the house but so far we have found no maps of suitable scale for hiking. However, it is not difficult to navigate by the scenery and we have enjoyed some stunning walks from the house in this manner. Some walking or cycling routes are marked with posts.

 Some useful websites are below……some in Catalan; give it a try…. you will probably understand just enough to make it worth while!

Contact Deborah and Philip. Deborah’s mother lives nearby and has stables. (Note: there maybe a problem for 2007; we are not sure if riding is possible this year). Maybe worth trying Mas Cassilda Restaurant which also does horse riding.
